How the Grinch Hacked Christmas

Here in Silicon Valley, we tend to share information and the latest developments with each other at lightning speed via IM, Twitter, Facebook, email, SMS, etc. The grape vine here is probably faster than most government communications systems when it comes to getting information out.

Last Friday, an extremely agitated colleague from a local Internet security company texted me. He said that “the worst data breach since WikiLeaks has happened.” He proceeded. According to the link he sent, Santa got hacked. The Naughty List, no less, according to Infosec Island.
